When the fellow said “I’d rather be lucky than good” he was talking about wins in baseball.
Last week the player who was both lucky and good was Takashi Saito.
Considering how hard wins are to find, Saito put up what appears to be a unique fantasy line (scroll down):
2 wins, 2 saves, 8 Ks, 0.00 ERA, 0.46 WHIP, 4.1 IP
How unusual is this? In the 12-team Mynci, through 8 weeks, there have actually been 3 other relievers to post two wins in one week:
Jonathan Papelbon, Week 5 (April 28 – May 4): 2 wins, 1 save, 3 Ks, 0.00 ERA, 0.46 WHIP, 4.1 IP
Tom Gordon, Week 4 (April 21 – 27): 2 wins, 0 saves, 4 Ks, 0.00 ERA, 0.67 WHIP, 3.0 IP
Bobby Jenks, Week 4 (April 21 - 27): 2 wins, 0 saves, 1K, 0.00 ERA, 1.88 WHIP, 2.2 IP
While Papelbon’s Week 5 was surprisingly similar, Saito’s Ks and conversion factor (win, save, save, win) make his effort that much more exceptional.
